Discover impressive dragons from all around the world with this stunningly illustrated matching game. Based on the popular book from the Folklore Field Guides series A Natural History of Dragons , the cards feature naturalist illustrations of dragon species from different regions of the world, from the Australian Flamethrower to the Emerald Wanderer, and the Saharan Strangler to the Western Woodstalker. The booklet, in addition to explaining how to play the game, serves as a field guide to the dragon species on the cards, with details on their habitats, dwellings, distinctive features, and habits. For instance, learn how the vegetarian Bumblelump ( Draco tumbulus ) uses its powerful front legs to dig its burrow home into hillsides, and how the Lindwyrm ( Draco vermis ) does not breathe fire, and instead can spit a foul-smelling venom, which causes blistering and blindness. You'll also find out where and when to look for dragons, and signs of their presence. To play the game, arrange the cards face down on a table, then flip two over - do they show the same dragon species? If they do, you collect the pair. If not, try to remember where the different dragon species are located so you can make a match on your next turn. Put your memory skills to the test and learn about the diverse dragons of the world while you play.
